Beryl, that would be a good idea for you, said her
father.
Kings mane and smooth hide were a dead black, yet
somehow they shone. Ive kept a sharp lookout for wheel tracks. Larry and Sterl
reported that the trek could be resumed, rain orshine.
But Eric has importuned me and I have decided. The
cowboys were as quick to leap upas Larry and Rollie. Sometime back it was royalty
condescending. Dann might have been actuated to delay because that would be better
forBeryl. Laughing Jack, the tame kookaburra, also turned traitor. She said she
could, returnedEric, eagerly.
Sterl heardthe leaders voice ring and break but he
made it his business to bewatching Eric Dann.
Slyter told the girls to go to bed, and this time
they obeyed. Dann, so seldom perturbed, wasbewildered by what was evidently a new
aspect to him. Beryl returned her kiss and greeting, then offered her two hands
toSterl. Days without end before what seemed tobe the pass; Sterl lost track of
days.
The mob of cattle appeared to consist of a hundred
hues, yet there werereally only very few.
Horses all right, he was saying to Dann as they
approached the fire.
That mob will work out ofthe bush by morning. You
brought me on this trek as partner and guide, hoarsely shoutedEric. In the middle of
that jungle Eric Dann made a startling proposal.
And then the trek seemed halted for good.
